In among the drip-feed of Star Wars: The Force Awakensnews, we have another small update: the name of Andy Serkis’ character is Supreme Leader Snoke, the voice who we heard narrating the first teaser trailer.

Despite initial reports to the contrary, his character will be portrayed by motion capture (as indicated by pictures in Vanity Fair of Serkis all wired up). There are no concrete details regarding what side he’s on, but judging by the whole ‘Supreme Leader’ vibe, we hazard a guess that he’ll be on the side of the First Order, the Empire offshoot who will be serving as the main bad guys in the new trilogy.
